About this property

Steps to the Beach:Oceanfront - Pools - Prime Spot

Welcome to your oceanfront vacation rental in Carolina Beach! Escape to this first-floor space where the beach is just steps outside your door. Lose yourself in the views of the Atlantic Ocean, where you can start each morning with coffee to the sound of crashing waves while looking for dolphins swimming in the water. It is a great space for your entire family – including your four-legged friend!

Property Highlights:

• Spacious Accommodation: The primary bedroom features a king sized bed, while the second bedroom is outfitted with a convenient queen-over-queen bunk bed, comfortably accommodating family and friends.
• Fully Equipped Kitchen: Whip up delicious meals or bring home your fresh catch and prep a seafood delight in a kitchen stocked with all the essentials.
• Linens Included: Enjoy the convenience of having bed linens, towels, face cloths, and wash clothes provided.
• Dog-friendly: Bring your pup along to enjoy the vacation!
• Swimming: Access 2 community pools during your stay. (Open early April until October)
• Parking: 2 community parking passes provided.

Extras to Love:

• We've got you covered with all the fun stuff—like sand toys, coloring books, beach chairs and body boards.
• Close proximity to local attractions, dining and entertainment.

Whether you’re seeking a romantic retreat, a family vacation, or a weekend getaway with friends, this oceanfront property is the perfect spot to relax and recharge. Wake up to the sound of the waves, relax on the sandy beach just steps away, and create unforgettable memories at Carolina Beach – with your pup in tow!

WHERE YOU'LL FIND US

We've traveled up and down the North Carolina coast, and we haven't found a town we love more than Carolina Beach. At our condo, all the best spots are within easy reach. Plus, with access to two community pools, you can take a break from the sand and surf to practice your backstroke.

Of course there's the beach just outside your door, but within walking distance there's also Freeman Park for bonfires on the beach, Carolina Beach Fishing Pier, and a quaint downtown with plenty of places to shop or grab a bite. Don't leave without trying a Britt's donut!

Hop in your car (2 parking passes per condo) and drive just a few minutes to Carolina Beach State Park to walk down the Venus flytrap trail, see sea life up close at North Carolina Aquarium, or take a local tour to Shark Island.

A Little Slice of Heaven

Our stay was pure enjoyment, all around. What a beautiful and clean condo with an exceptional view! We didn't want to leave. Carolina beach is such a special place, and this condo made it even more special. It's convenient to all the great restaurants and spots yet it felt very private and peaceful. We were so grateful that we could bring our dog along, too! We will definitely be staying at this little gem again!

Great home base

We booked this condo to use as a home base while we saw our extended family for Thanksgiving. The property had everything we needed for simple meal prep, and our dogs were happy with the scenery from the back porch. We watched the sunrise every morning-directly in front of the porch. We were able to walk on the north end with the dogs every day-wide open spaces, and much needed relaxing time.

Another lovely stay!

We have stayed several years in this unit. The owners are friendly and super responsive. The neighborhood and the beach are quiet at this end. You can’t get any closer to the beach and it’s a 30 second walk to two pools. We love coming here and always have a relaxing family vacation that can include our English Bulldog! This year there was significant beach erosion at the north end of the island but that’s to be expected given the storms this season. Did not deter from a great trip. We still went to the beach every day!

Great location and rental!

Property was in a great location and was exactly as shown in the pictures. I read one review that stated a concern on cleanliness. We found the property to be very clean. Also, because the property is pet friendly, I half expected there to be an animal smell, which was not the case at all. The property mgr was very responsive and very nice. Communication was excellent. We will definitely stay here again.

There is very little that I need to say if I tell you that this is the second time we have stayed at this place and are booking it next year. The location, the dog friendliness, and the responsiveness of the owners personally and the company when need was spot on as last year. For a family of 3 with 2 dogs, you can't beat this place and the people who own it.

About the host

Hosted by Greg and Laura Calone

Host profile image
Hello! We have lived in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina for nearly 20 years after both having been raised in the Northeast. Greg initially moved to North Carolina for school and Laura for work. We are now a family of 5 with our 5 year old daughter Isabella and our 2 mini-goldendoodles Maddie and Mollie.

Why they chose this property

We have always loved the beach. Our journey started out by exploring the lighthouses of North Carolina. During our travels we came across Carolina Beach and found ourselves returning time after time. We came across Rolling Waves and knew immediately it was a place that we could call home. It is a place where we come recharge and unwind after a long week.

What makes this property unique

We loved this place so much that we wanted to share it with others. We want our guests to feel at home and like they are part of the family. We continue to make upgrades to help each guest have a wonderful experience.
